A: 

If you are going to be creating more than just this one setup I would recommend looking into the WiX Toolkit. It is an XML based toolkit that will let you create your MSI's with an amazing amount of customization. Placing the folders that you need where you need them is no problem at all. I think that might just be what you are looking for. Also the link that I included has a link to a really great tutorial that would help you get started.
